Tell the SHRM Mac What You Think

Extended deadline to APRIL 30th! Complete today, PLEASE!

Your assistance is needed by your 2013 SHRM Member Advisory Council (MAC) Representatives. The MAC is made up of five elected representatives, one from each SHRM Region – like you we are SHRM members and HR professionals. As the MAC Representative for your region, I serve as a messenger between SHRM members and the SHRM CEO and Board of Directors. SHRM strives to constantly improve member services as well as provide the most current and advanced tools for its members, volunteers and HR Professionals. I have been asked to gather feedback from SHRM members regarding topics of importance to the HR profession and SHRM. Since I can’t speak to each of you individually, I would request you complete the quick survey at the link below.
By completing this survey, your feedback will play an important role to in advancing the HR Profession, so let your voice be heard! This survey should only take about 5 minutes of your time and is anonymous. Please complete the survey by Friday, April 30th. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

55 Active Job Search Sites (Updated 7/19)

I had a company encouraging me to update this list over the last couple of months. Since they focus on veteran hiring and I am a veteran supporting other veterans I am happy to add the following to this original posting from 2017. Silent Professionals is a free veteran recruitment service. Their differentiating factor is that they focus on a very specific subset of veteran employment which is the combat arms veteran. Their site is much more than just a job board because they actually provide a service behind it which is all free to the veteran. As combat veterans themselves, with a vast amount of experience in the private security sector, they are able to use that experience and influence within the industry to act as trusted advocates for the veteran candidate. They boast an incredible 84% job placement success rate for candidates that they recommend to employers. One of the reasons they're able to do that is because of their focus on jobs for combat veterans who are seek...

#MeToo Focus in the Caribbean

The morning after a day in Jamaica starts off with a bang in Julie Pugh's session covering Harassment in the Headlines most recently refenced by hashtags #MeToo and #TimesUp. Her session was titled Have Your Life Jacket Handy: The HR Professional's Role in Addressing Pre-Lawsuit Procedures. Whew! That's a mouthful! However, being prepared is a big deal and deserves our attention, understanding, and consideration to avoid a mouthful of curse words (quietly of course) when you get handed your first EEOC complaint or lawsuit. Believe me, they are not fun to deal with! I have personally had my share of harassment (especially sexual) complaints during my tenure in HR. So far this year, I have delivered a couple of programs as well as conducted a couple of investigation and it's only February! The stories I could tell would make you wonder what type of work is actually being done in the workplace. Matter of fact, I shared one of them in the session that helped Jul...

#LASHRM Down - What's Next?

Well that was a blast! Hanging with long time HR friend, Dave Ryan, talking about Running an HR Department of One down south in the state of Louisiana. It was more than a blast...it was a great learning experience. I have always considered Dave mentor on areas of HR where I had little experience. One of those areas is Labor Relations. This go around I learned a lot about some new technologies that will help get the job done more effectively and efficiently. Among my list of takeaways from Dave include Smart Recruiters, Work for Us, Flubaroo, and Google Docs. Mobile apps have been the rave for a couple of years now but Smart Recruiters seem to have an edge on the recruiting space. The app allows cost conscious HR professionals to post job openings for free and then get picked up by a host of other online job banks. On top of your return on investment for a pinch of your time, it's relatively easy to learn and use. Another related Facebook add on is called Work For Use which do...
